Hi Willem,
Thanks for saying so.
As for probability factor, I'll have to give that one some thought with
regard to building it in. The way the system is designed to work right now,
you could likely achieve the same result if you created a rare punch on a
switch with other, less involved combos. When I get into the meat of
switches, I'll take a look, though.

Hi Ryan.
Firstly let me say that I think you are doing a great job on the game.
You mentioned that there will be the ability to add random selection in a
timeline. What I would like to see is also the ability to edit the
probability of that event occuring (for example a high stakes punch with
high risk and high reward should not have the same probability as a normal
punch), so the surprise element is not lost.
